Thanks for the help Bruce. lfs:~$ type -p make /usr/local/bin/make

However, I've also since noticed that as per the host systems requirements ( http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/stable/chapter02/hostreqs.html) my version of gcc is out of date as well (4.8.5). I didn't notice this before sending the original email and I'm assuming that will pose a problem if not in this case, then in the future. Maybe a better question would be to ask which distro has up-to-date tools for this project out of the box? Thanks again.
